* Loosen buttons and remove collar stays
* Wash at a maximum of 40 degrees (30 degrees recommended)
* Program: delicates or shirts and Spin speed 600 or less
* Use minimal washing powder and no liquid detergent but washing powder because this washes much more efficiently
* Take it out of the machine immediately after washing and “knock out” your shirt just as well
* Hang it wet on a hanger and tighten it a bit
* From day one, coat the inside of the collar and cuffs with stain remover, green soap or carbonated carbonate. This way the shirt stays white and clean for the longest time
* Only wash the white shirt with white laundry so no colored laundry, even if it is light-colored laundry
* Only wash the light blue shirt with light colored laundry (no dark wash)
* Turn inside out and loosen buttons and remove collar stays
* Preferably by hand in lukewarm soapy water with little detergent. Then spread out and hang up as wet as possible
* Always use detergent (minimum amount) for colored laundry and not liquid detergent but washing powder because this washes much more efficiently
* Machine wash at 30 degrees maximum and select Program: delicates, wool or shirts. Spin speed 600 or less
* Take it out of the machine immediately after washing and “knock out” your shirt just as well
* Hang it wet on a hanger and tighten it a bit
* Leaving the dark blue or black shirt hanging outside overnight saves you a wash
* Turn inside out and loosen buttons and remove collar stays
* Preferably by hand in lukewarm soapy water with little detergent. Then spread out and hang up as wet as possible
* Always use detergent for colored laundry (minimum amount) and no liquid detergent but washing powder because this washes much more efficiently
* Machine wash at 30 degrees maximum and select Program: delicates, wool or shirts. Spin speed 600 or less
* Use minimal washing powder and no liquid detergent but washing powder because this washes much more efficiently
* Take it out of the machine immediately after washing and “knock out” your shirt just as well
* Hang it wet on a hanger and tighten it a bit
* It is best to iron a shirt when it is still damp and always inside out. If the shirt is already dry, use the spray function of the iron or a plant sprayer because only with enough steam can wrinkles be 100% smoothed
* Avoid an iron that is too hot (mix at least 2 dots). Always check what is indicated in the care label
* Unbutton all buttons, so that you can reach everything with the iron
* Always start with the sleeves when ironing the shirt. Place the iron in the center of the sleeve and iron from the inside out, ironing the edges last
* Then smooth the cuffs. Iron a single button cuff with the buttons facing up. Open a double cuff and smooth it evenly. Then it is folded into the desired shape and the edges are ironed. Then it is turned over once and the fold is ironed so that the buttonholes are on top of each other
* Now that the sleeves and cuffs have been ironed, the back pad is next. Place the back pad with the inside on the ironing board and pull it tight. Then smooth the fabric. Turn the shirt with the ironing board until you have ironed the entire back pad
* Now it’s the turn of the front of the shirt. First place the side with the buttons from the outside up on the ironing board and smooth it out. Gently iron around the buttons
* Finally, iron the hem from the points inwards so that no folds are created outwards. Turn the collar over and iron the inside. Make sure you don’t keep the iron in one place for too long to avoid burn marks
* Tips:
* If you often wear shirts, the investment in a professional steam iron with automatic temperature control is really worth it
* A shapely ironing board with a soft top layer - in which buttons can sink away also saves a lot of time and annoyance
Keeping White Shirts white
LEMON JUICE TO KEEP YOUR SHIRT WHITE
Use half a cup of lemon juice when washing. So you wash, with soap powder, as you normally would. And mix half a cup of lemon juice with it. Lemon juice is a natural decolorizer, but it can also react very violently. So beware, and use this method with only all-white shirts. It can actually stain colored shirts.
⚠️ PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
The best way to keep your shirt white is to keep it from getting gray at first. That sounds a bit obvious, but if you carefully select your laundry you will avoid a lot of problems. Only really wash white shirts with other whites and use a separate detergent for whites. For the real household princes and princesses: You can also rinse and soak your white shirts. Run some lukewarm water in a bowl and soap your shirts with a bar of soap. For example ox gall soap, but any other soap is also possible. Leave it on for a while and then wash the shirts on a normal cycle.
* Maak knopen los en verwijder kraagsteunen
* Wassen op maximaal 40 graden (30 graden aanbevolen)
* Programma: fijne was of overhemden en centrifugeersnelheid 600 of minder
* Gebruik zo min mogelijk waspoeder en geen vloeibaar wasmiddel maar waspoeder omdat dit veel efficiënter wast
* Haal het direct na het wassen uit de machine en 'gooi' je hemd net zo goed uit de machine
* Hang hem nat aan een hanger en draai hem een beetje vast
* Smeer vanaf de eerste dag de binnenkant van de kraag en manchetten in met vlekverwijderaar, groene zeep of koolzuurhoudend carbonaat. Zo blijft het shirt het langst wit en schoon
* Was het witte overhemd alleen met witte was, dus geen gekleurd wasgoed, ook al is het lichtgekleurd wasgoed
* Was het lichtblauwe shirt alleen met lichtgekleurd wasgoed (geen donkere wassing)
* Keer binnenstebuiten en maak knopen los en verwijder kraagsteunen
* Bij voorkeur met de hand in lauw zeepsop met weinig afwasmiddel. Verspreid vervolgens en hang zo nat mogelijk op
* Gebruik voor gekleurd wasgoed altijd wasmiddel (minimale hoeveelheid) en geen vloeibaar wasmiddel maar waspoeder omdat dit veel efficiënter wast
* Machinewas op maximaal 30 graden en selecteer programma: fijne was, wol of overhemden. Centrifugeersnelheid 600 of minder
* Haal het direct na het wassen uit de machine en 'gooi' je hemd net zo goed uit de machine
* Hang hem nat aan een hanger en draai hem een beetje vast
* Als u het donkerblauwe of zwarte overhemd 's nachts buiten laat hangen, bespaart u een wasbeurt
* Keer binnenstebuiten en maak knopen los en verwijder kraagsteunen
* Bij voorkeur met de hand in lauw zeepsop met weinig afwasmiddel. Verspreid vervolgens en hang zo nat mogelijk op
* Gebruik altijd wasmiddel voor gekleurd wasgoed (minimale hoeveelheid) en geen vloeibaar wasmiddel maar waspoeder omdat dit veel efficiënter wast
* Machinewas op maximaal 30 graden en selecteer programma: fijne was, wol of overhemden. Centrifugeersnelheid 600 of minder
* Gebruik zo min mogelijk waspoeder en geen vloeibaar wasmiddel maar waspoeder omdat dit veel efficiënter wast
* Haal het onmiddellijk na het wassen uit de machine en 'gooi' je shirt net zo goed uit de machine
* Hang hem nat aan een hanger en draai hem een beetje vast
* Een overhemd strijk je het beste als het nog vochtig is en altijd binnenstebuiten. Als het shirt al droog is, gebruik dan de sproeifunctie van het strijkijzer of een plantenspuit want alleen met voldoende stoom kunnen rimpels 100% gladgestreken worden
* Vermijd een te heet strijkijzer (meng minimaal 2 stippen). Controleer altijd wat er op het onderhoudslabel staat
* Maak alle knoopjes los, zodat je alles met het strijkijzer kunt bereiken
* Begin altijd met de mouwen bij het strijken van het overhemd. Plaats het strijkijzer in het midden van de mouw en strijk van binnen naar buiten, waarbij de randen als laatste worden gestreken
* Maak vervolgens de manchetten glad. Strijk een manchet met enkele knoop met de knopen naar boven. Open een dubbele manchet en strijk deze gelijkmatig glad. Vervolgens wordt het in de gewenste vorm gevouwen en worden de randen gestreken. Daarna wordt het een keer omgedraaid en wordt de vouw gestreken zodat de knoopsgaten op elkaar liggen
* Nu de mouwen en manchetten zijn gestreken, is het rugkussen de volgende. Leg het rugkussen met de binnenkant op de strijkplank en trek deze strak. Maak vervolgens de stof glad. Draai het shirt met de strijkplank om totdat je het hele rugkussen hebt gestreken
* Nu is het de beurt aan de voorkant van het shirt. Leg eerst de zijkant met de knopen van buitenaf op de strijkplank en strijk deze glad. Strijk voorzichtig rond de knopen
* Strijk tenslotte de zoom van de punten naar binnen zodat er geen plooien naar buiten ontstaan. Draai de kraag om en strijk de binnenkant. Zorg ervoor dat u het strijkijzer niet te lang op één plek bewaart om brandplekken te voorkomen
* Tips:
* Draag je vaak overhemden, dan is de investering in een professioneel stoomstrijkijzer met automatische temperatuurregeling echt de moeite waard
* Een mooi gevormde strijkplank met een zachte toplaag - waarin knoppen ook kunnen wegzakken bespaart ook veel tijd en ergernis
Witte overhemden wit houden
CITROENSAP OM JE OVERHEMD WIT TE HOUDEN
Gebruik een half kopje citroensap bij het wassen. Je wast dus, met zeeppoeder, zoals je normaal zou doen. En mixt daar een half kopje citroensap bij. Citroensap is een natuurlijke ontkleurder, maar kan ook heel heftig reageren. Dus pas op, en gebruik deze methode bij alleen volledig witte overhemden. Op gekleurde overhemden kan het juist vlekken veroorzaken.
⚠️ VOORZORGSMAATREGELEN
De beste manier om te zorgen dat je je overhemd wit houdt is te zorgen dat het niet grauw wordt in eerste instantie. Dat klinkt een beetje als een open deur, maar als je je was met aandacht uit selecteert voorkom je een hoop problemen. Was witte overhemden alleen echt met ander wit wasgoed en gebruik een apart wasmiddel voor witte was.
Voor de echte huishoud prinsen en prinsessen: Je kunt je witte overhemden ook even voor spoelen en laten weken. Laat wat lauw water in een teiltje lopen en zeep je overhemden in met een blok zeep. Bijvoorbeeld ossengalzeep, maar elke andere zeep kan ook. Laat het even staan en was de overhemden vervolgens op een normaal programma.
